DiscoStu Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi All, At the back of the engine (300Tdi Disco) left side looking at it from the front of the truck, the vacuum pipe comes up off the vacuum pump, it then goes to a T junction. One pipe leads off to the servo, the other leads off to.... I dont know! I've discovered this pipe hanging loose, unconnected to anything. This prompts a couple of questions: Where should it go? Could this be the reason that despite repeatedly bleeding the brakes I still have a crappy pedal? Sorry I dont have a picture to illustrate this better - I did take one but cant upload it from this PC. Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 That would explain the carp pedal, is it a tiny pipe?? Could it possibly be the egr vacuum pipe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStu Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 It is a tiny one Phil, the stiff thin stuff. I suppose it could be egr related - there is no longer an egr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo_C Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The thin one heads of the the EGR valve, whilst it is electronically controlled its the vacuum that provides the force. If you remove the EGR you have to block this off the pipe. some people remove the lot but I got a bit of a hesitation at high rpm. so mine is all stuffed under the jack in the inner wing.
